Twitter Reviews

What are people saying about a restaurant?

We are now showing the latest Twitter tweets about a restaurant. This gives you an instant impression what people like you and me think about a venue.

Sometimes the search is less than accurate - we know this and are working to improve it. But we think the immediate value is worth it!

As always, please let us know what you think!

New Server

In order to cope with witU's growth, we have moved to a new dedicated server yesterday. Especially in the mornings (EST) our old server was struggling to keep up with the demand. Hope you notice the faster site and have fun with witU!

More US Restaurants

Today we are adding another 8,000 restaurants in the US. These restaurants are not bookable online yet, but you can start adding your reviews already while we will be working to make more of the restaurants bookable. As always, let us know your feedback, and thanks for using witU!

Usability

Posted April 24th, 2009 by admin
As we introduced Facebook Connect in the booking form, we saw our conversion rates drop. When further looking into it, it became obvious that the login process was confusing. So we changed our booking form once again. Now you first book, and then in the confirmation you are asked if you want to create a new user or associate the booking with your Facebook profile. This is hopefully a clearer process. We also added a search in the header to give you direct access to restaurants and search via location.
